Maximum Platform Height: Boom lifts are known for their ability to reach significant heights. The “1200” in the model name might suggest a maximum platform height of 120 feet or a similar figure.
Articulating Boom: Boom lifts often have articulating or telescoping booms, or a combination of both. Articulating booms allow for flexible movement and positioning around obstacles.
Telescoping Boom: Telescoping booms provide additional reach and can be extended or retracted as needed.
Platform Capacity: The platform of the boom lift typically has a specified capacity, indicating the maximum weight it can safely support. This could include workers, tools, and materials.
Power Source: Boom lifts can be powered by various sources, such as diesel, gas, or electric. The power source may impact where and how the lift can be used.
Outriggers or Stabilizers: Larger boom lifts often have outriggers or stabilizers to enhance stability when the lift is extended to its maximum height.
Controls: Modern boom lifts usually have user-friendly controls for precise movement and positioning of the platform.
Safety Features: Boom lifts are equipped with safety features such as sensors, alarms, and interlocks to ensure safe operation.
